[Imperfect monitoring and impermanent reputations, Econometrica 72 (2004) 407–432] showed that an informed player facing short-lived uninformed opponents cannot maintain a permanent reputation for playing a strategy that is not part of an equilibrium of the game without uncertainty over types. This paper extends that result to games in which the uninformed player is long-lived and has private beliefs, so that the informed player's reputation is private. The rate at which reputations disappear is uniform across equilibria and reputations also disappear in sufficiently long discounted finitely repeated games. date: 2007-05 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jet.2006.03.007 vfaculties: VSHS oa_status: green language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green doi: 10.1016/j.jet.2006.03.007 lyricists_name: Cripps, M lyricists_id: MWCRI35 full_text_status: public publication: Journal of Economic Theory volume: 134 number: 1 pagerange: 287-316 refereed: TRUE issn: 0022-0531 citation: Cripps, M.W.; Mailath, G.J.; Samuelson, L.; (2007) Disappearing private reputations in long-run relationships.
